Mallory Grace: What happens when Mulgarath gets the book?
Thimbletack: I die. You die. We all die. Bye-bye.
Mallory Grace: [turns to Jared; voice quavering slightly] What does he mean, 'we all die'?
Jared Grace: I think he means... we all die.

Aunt Lucinda Spiderwick: [showing scars on forearm] If they say 'suicide' and you say 'goblins', this place is where they put you.

Hogsqueal: [as the griffin is soaring far overhead] Fly as you want. Griffin! I swallowed an ogre whole. You could be next!

Comment

I have always absolutely loved this series and always will!in fact I named my lamb Simon because I thought it fit him. I have read them all at least 3 times. I defiantly recommend if you are looking for adventure and fairy tail with a modern twist!

In the continuation of the series, our hero Jared and his sibling companions adventure out of the house and onto the grounds of the Spiderwick Estate. There they meet a variety of new and interesting creatures, some of which are written about in the guide, and others which are completely mysterious.

A great series for young readers as the stories aren't too long, and there are just five books in the series. Allows young readers a sense of accomplishment as each book, and then the series is finished. Fun for parents too!

Summary

After ignoring Thimbletack's warning, Simon is abducted by a group of invisible goblins. Thimbletack guides Jared to a "seeing stone" created by his great-uncle which gives him the ability to see faeries, called the Sight. Mallory and Jared go searching for Simon, narrowly escaping capture, and find the goblin camp. While rescuing Simon, they meet a hobgoblin named Hogsqueal who convinces them to help him escape in exchange for his help in rescuing Simon. Hogsqueal then spits in their eyes, giving them the Sight permanently. After rescuing Simon, they flee and lead the goblins to a troll, where the goblins meet their deaths. They rescue the rest of the goblin's victims and take an injured griffin back to their house.
